Hi Hope it goes well for you, But it seems people just dont care anymore, I'm trying to help The Battle of Britain Wings Appeal, I've contacted over 74 football clubs asking for memorabilia, with not much luck most of them are not interested it makes me feel sick to be British.
So GOOD LUCK........

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your good wishes.
I can't wait to meet Bob, and hopefully the same will go for a lot of other people.

Anyone from the forum thinking of attending??

Hi Geoff. Yes, I'm hoping to attend; my son and I are down in Devon that week, travelling home on the Sunday, so as long as we're away from there in time we should be able to make it. I'd dearly like to get my copy of Spitfire Ace signed by Bob Doe, the interviews I've seen him give have made quite an impression on me.

I'll look forward to seeing you. Are you hoping for the am or pm session?

Probably pm; we're coming from the Plymouth area, and by the time I've got Haydn and his kit all loaded up we'll be unlikely to make the morning.

Lets face it the majority of English Football clubs don't have many home grown players in their squads anyhow !!!!

Another veteran confirmed for the 15th
We can confirm that Mike Croskell has confirmed he will be attending on the 15th. See the first post in this thread for the full list (so far!!) of those veterans attending.

Yet another veteran to attend our signing event
An interesting addition to the veterans attending the museum on the 15th August is Tony Iveson. Tony flew with Nos 616 & 92 Sqns during the BoB, but did his second tour on Bombers, serving with No 617 Sqn in 1944, during which he took part in three sorties against the 'TIRPITZ', including the the one which resulted in her sinking.

Haydn'll love that, meeting a Lancaster pilot. :D (It's also another excuse to give this a soft bump... ;) )

No one else from the forum coming, apart from Steve & Haydn? :(

We will be holding a signing session at our museum in aid of the London Battle of Britain Memorial on Sunday 15th August
The plan is to have six Battle of Britain veterans sigining books, prints etc, for which there will be a £10 per item fee, with ALL the money raised going to the London BoB Memorial. Also present will be the London BoB memorial maquette.
We're pleased to say that Bob Doe, Mike Croskell, Tony Iveson and Nigel Rose have already confirmed they will be among the six veterans at the signing. There will be two signing sessions, 11am to 12.30pm & 2pm to 3.30pm.
I will post further details of the veterans attending as soon as I have the information.
For more info about the London BoB Memorial go to http://www.bbm.org.uk/
